Some folks were happy.

Unlike Clinton, the self-serving reprobate, Nixon at least had the sense of propriety to resign.

[Mike Bates]

As well as a sense of shame, something with which Klintoon would not be acquainted.

Some folks were happy.

Many of whom couldn't find the time to visit a dentist,it would appear.

[Mike Bates]

If only we had national health insurance like the English do. . . .

As luck would have it my wife and I were vacationing in DC that day. We were standing out in front of the White House when he boarded Army One for the last time. I've got a series of pictures I took of the Army One lifting off and flying past the Washington Monument. It was a sad day for the country on several levels.

[Gay State Conservative]

Was it Army One or Marine Corps One?

On Nixon's last day, he didn't have to glad hand everyone in the crowd for hours on end like BJ.

I think Milhous boogied outta town the following day, on the ninth. Then again, I can't remember where I put my reading glasses.

Guess it was MC-1, it was an H-53.

As well as a sense of shame, something with which Klintoon would not be acquainted.
----
True -- I left that one out. Clinton is an empty shell, no ethics, pride, self-repect, morals, no interest in right or wrong --- nothing but a shell of pure ego and narcissism.

And a huge appetite.

Then again, I can't remember where I put my reading glasses.

I know what you mean. At any rate it was a sad day everyone except the Dems who were beside themselves.
